Introduction: Critically ill admitted patients are at high risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). The renal angina index (RAI) and urinary biomarker neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) can aid in AKI risk assessment.

Drug Removal by CRRT and Drug Dosing in Patients on CRRT
Correct drug dosing is of utmost importance for therapeutic success in critically ill patients. This especially applies to sepsis where early adequate dosing of antibiotics may be lifesaving. Correct drug dosing should take into account the major alterations in pharmacokinetics induced by critical illness and the drug’s pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic ...

Augmented renal clearance (ARC) represents a quite prevalent condition among critical orthotopic liver transplant recipients (23.2%). ARC is associated with different demographics and clinical features and significantly affects the attainment of aggressive beta‐lactams pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic targets despite the administration of standard ...

Although patients with acute coronary syndrome supported by veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA‐ECMO) have a high risk of thrombosis and bleeding, antiplatelet pharmacology in this setting is not well defined. This prospective observational study investigated the population pharmacokinetics of ticagrelor and its active metabolite AR ...

Background Changes in platelet and white blood cell (WBC) counts during CRRT could identify patients at risk for adverse outcomes. We examined the association of change in platelet and WBC from pre-CRRT to during-CRRT with hospital mortality.

Predicting restoration of kidney function during CRRT-free intervals
Background Renal failure is common in critically ill patients and frequently requires continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). CRRT is discontinued at regular intervals for routine changes of the disposable equipment or for replacing clogged filter ...

PBPK/PD modeling and clinical retrospective validation of intravenous polymyxin B in critically ill patients with pulmonary infection. ABSTRACT Intravenous polymyxin B (PMB) is widely used for treating drug‐resistant gram‐negative pneumonia, though its efficacy in pulmonary infections is considered limited.

Anidulafungin dosing during CRRT: do not underestimate adsorption! [PDF]
Two recent papers in Critical Care discuss the use of echinocandins in general [1], and anidulafungin in particular [2], during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Being highly protein bound and predominantly nonrenally eliminated drugs, echinocandins are barely removed by convection and thus require no dose adjustment during CRRT. Based on
